2. Public comment on items not on the regular agenda

Steve Birdlebough, Sonoma County Transportation and Land Use Coalition, shared a recent travel experience on Highway 12, commenting on the amount of wineries in Sonoma County and lack of public transportation. Mr. Birdlebough advocated on the idea that more public transportation needs to be provided, not just for those who are transit dependent, but also for tourist who will visit the wineries.

Duane DeWitt, Roseland, spoke on “big, empty busses,” in which in order to permit a development project, a bus stop is required. The premise of the story was to highlight the idea

services are being placed in areas where they are not maximized and urged the Board of Directors to critically assess public transportation to determine which areas can be full maximized.

4.1.1. Activities Report – Update on SCTA planning activities (REPORT)

Janet Spilman updated the Board on SCTA’s recent activities. First, the Shift Sonoma County report has been reviewed by SCTA Staff and is currently under public review. Secondly, the Sonoma County Department of Health Services will present on Safe Routes to School (SRTS) as SCTA will assume implementation of the program.

Additionally, innovative transportation programs, such as ZipCar and bike sharing programs, are in progress, while data management and modelling efforts continue to maintain the accuracy of the travel model.

Vice Chair Russell expressed interest in SRTS, commenting that many families live in small homes and face a challenge of where to store bicycles. Vice Chair Russell also noted other factors that interfere children from using SRTS, such as parents feeling their children are not safe when walking or bicycling to school, high traffic volume, and/or too many unrecognizable people. There are also time factors that limits children from active transportation, whereas the commute to school will be longer if bicycling and walking and the need to reorganizing their morning routines.

Director Coursey wondered if usage data will be provided by ZipCar.

Dana Turrey responded that usage data will be provided after one month.

Director Mansell spoke highly of Shift Sonoma County, calling the document inspirational, and hopes the document will be given the deserved credit. Director Mansell expressed an interest to hear more of the document at the local level.

Suzanne Smith said to the Board of Directors that Shift Sonoma County has been presented in Cloverdale and is scheduled to present to the City of Sonoma. Staff is happy to give a presentation to other jurisdictions upon request.

4.2. SCTA Projects and Programming

4.2.1. Safe Routes to School – presentation by Department of Health Services (REPORT)*

Dana Turrey introduced Anthony Taylor, Sonoma County Department of Health Services, who reported the findings of Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program.

The report studies Fiscal Year (FY) 15/16 and FY 16/17. The final report will be available on the Department’s website beginning in October.

Major funders of the program are MTC’s One Bay Area Grant, with matching funds from Measure M and Kaiser Permanente.

Mr. Taylor described the program goals of increasing heath and air quality, and improving safety and security.

The program was updated this FY, with a focus on building capacity in the schools. The pilot project began in FY 2015-16 and was modified for FY 2016-17.

The program employs data driven planning, with a focus on school behavior data and traffic patterns.

Mr. Taylor further described the program’s framework: the “6 E’s,” which aims to encourages behavior change. The 6 E’s are: Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, Engineering, Evaluation, and Equity.

The Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition works in partnership to provide bicycle education to students, with examples as the International Walk & Roll to School Day and providing education on bicycling during rainy days. As well, infrastructure improvements and pedestrian crossing signs were installed to improve safety.

The program cost $1.2 million for 29 schools with over 15,000 students reached across Sonoma County.

Mr. Taylor further described the data collected.

Data was collected at four points during the year. The last presentation to the SCTA Board of Directors, a 3% decrease in bicycling was seen; currently, the data shows no further decrease in bicycling, however no increase was seen. Although there is an increase in the number of students who participated in walking and biking to school, more schools were added, thus demonstrating a small change.

Bicycling increased for fifth and sixth grade students by 16% respectively.

Mr. Taylor noted challenges with collecting data from the schools, suggesting a self-selection bias and self-reporting.

Moving forward, the program plans to provide value to schools, continue to employ data-driven planning, evaluate efficacy of activates, frequently measure travel habits, increase sample size in the local high schools, and further study disadvantaged schools.

Mr. Taylor was available for questions.

Director Miller asked for more information on how schools are reporting and/or tracking the data.

Mr. Taylor responded that students of each grade are asked, “How did you get to school today?”

These questions were asked at the beginning and end of the school year and student’s answers are tallied. Furthermore, high school students were given surveys.

Surveys asked students whether they had bicycles at home, whether the bicycles were functioning, and how many have helmets at home.

Director Miller followed up by wondering if schools are required to track how students arrived to school through the year, rather than at the beginning or end of the school year.

Mr. Taylor responded that schools are asked, “Are you tracking (the data through the school year)?” The assessment does not explain how the data is tracked, however.

Director Coursey commented that commuters know the hurdles of school traffic. Distance is the reason people do not walk/bike, especially inter-district transfer students, and trying to encourage active transportation involves a cultural shift.

Mr. Taylor noted that an average of 60% of students live within walking/biking distance, which varies to one-quarter mile for elementary school students to one mile for high school students.

Director Agrimonti commented an organization called Team Services in the City of Sonoma provides parking bicycles for the Tuesday market. Director Agrimonti wondered if there is an incentive for the organization to contact SRTS to arrange a bicycle repair day for the students.

Mr. Taylor responded the Center for Climate Protection and the Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition works to connect other organizations to repair bicycles for children, and any other organizations wishing to be connected are encouraged to contact Mr. Taylor, Center for

Climate Protection, or the Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition.

Director Zane expressed appreciation for the program, and conveyed the importance of the media in promoting this program. Director Zane suggested more positive press is needed to combat the safety fears of children bicycling.

Director Gurney thanked Mr. Taylor for the detailed presentation and real data points and suggested to the Board that numbers are increasing due to active involvement by law enforcement.

Director Gorin commented on the International Walk & Roll to school by suggesting this activity breaks the misperceptions of biking/walking to school. If more Walk and Roll to School days are sponsored throughout the year, then this can encourage high participation in bicycling and walking to school.

Director Okrepkie noted that the Town of Windsor does not have neighborhood schools, in which the majority of students are carpooled in; thus skewing the data collected. A realistic view in Windsor, in terms of the data, ought to be derived from junior- and high schools.

Vice Chair Russell expressed the importance to understand the elements of why children who walk and bicycle to school, and further suggested to receive the information from the young people. Vice Chair Russell also spoke of the need for parent involvement: the students and parents can help provide insight on the reasons why they choose, or do not choose, to walk and bicycle to school.

Director Mansell recalled her experience as an educator who has administered this program in the school and highlighted the morning routine. The common theme seen is the students need to

see a stronger meaning to wake up earlier in the morning to aid in the cultural change. Students want to see the bigger picture and be involved with change; however, in order to show this change, more walking and bicycling to school days to expose students to this lifestyle should be promoted.

Chair Rabbitt provided commentary and thoughts, recalling walking to school as a student in elementary school, and expressed appreciation for data presented.

Chair Rabbitt opened for public comment.

Duane DeWitt, Roseland, commented on the necessity to fix the bike paths and greenways, especially in Roseland, to better serve the students in Roseland Elementary and Sheppard Elementary schools. Mr. DeWitt urged to the Board of Directors to advocate to complete the bicycle paths.

4.2.2. Funding - update on SB1 implementation and SB595 (Beall) related to Regional Measure 3 tolling proposal (REPORT)*

Suzanne Smith provided an update on transportation funding, specifically in regards to Senate Bill 1 (SB1). Fuel tax funding is expected to begin collection in November, while vehicle registration fees will be collected in January.

Through SB1 funding, several programs will either be created and/or receive additional funding. The California Transportation Commission (CTC) has been designated to develop the guidelines for these programs.

Active transportation the most straightforward in the guidelines, because an existing plan is already in place – SB1 allows for more robust funding.

The Local Streets and Road Program has a slightly different process than in the past. SCTA staff has been tracking these developments with local jurisdictions on what must be completed in order to submit projects to the CTC. The CTC will need to sign off on proposed projects.

The Solutions for Congested Corridors program is of interest to SCTA in regards to the Highway 101 corridor. The Highway 101 corridor was listed specifically in the legislation as an example of a multi-modal approach to relieving congestion.

SCTA and Transportation Authority of Marin are expecting to submit applications for the final segments of the Marin-Sonoma Narrows with construction anticipating to begin in the next fiscal year.

Director Landman wondered how quickly Marin will begin construction in the Narrows.

Ms. Smith responded depending on the Right-of-Way process, expected construction on the Marin side of the Narrows could begin in 2020.

Director Coursey referenced chart on page 45 in the agenda packet on SB1, and wondered how confident the figures are.

Ms. Smith responded the figures in the agenda packet are published by CALCOG, which are estimates received by the League of California Cities.

Director Mansell wondered how are the funding numbers are distributed.

Ms. Smith responded the formula is a combination of registration fees and population. 50% is based on population and 50% based on combination of lane miles and vehicle registration.

Ms. Smith also updated the Board of Directors on Regional Measure 3 (SB 595 - Beall).

SB 595 allows MTC and the Bay Area Toll Authority to place RM3 on the ballot to increase tolls up to $3 on the state owned bridges. In order to receive the funding, a nexus to the seven Bay Area bridges must be identified.

A handout was provided to the board with updated amendments on projects. The bill is still waiting to be voted on in the state Assembly.

Director Mackenzie, who also serves as the Chairman of MTC, commented on the previous regional measures, of which Sonoma and Napa Counties were not included, and described the July 26th commission meeting, where, among various topics, commissioners negotiated project funding figures. The commission voted 8-5 to move forward on the current project plan.

RM3 will be placed on the ballot in 2018, either in June or November, and is regarded as great importance for the four North Bay counties.

Director Gorin provided comments on the interest to have a regional conversation.

Director Miller inquired, if the measure is passed, whether the toll increase will take effect in January following the vote.

Director Mackenzie said BATA is responsible for collecting the tolls and there is an anticipation to start collecting in 2019.

Director Coursey inquired about the Santa Rosa community connector.

Ms. Smith responded the community connector could receive funds through SB1.

Director Coursey followed up by asking for clarification on the $100 million for North Bay transit improvements.

Ms. Smith answered the transit improvements are not fully explicit in the definition as of now.

4.2.3. Highways Report – update

on State Highway projects (ACTION)

James Cameron updated the Board of Directors on thehighway projects.

Mr. Cameron updated the Board on MSN B-3 construction, identified as the San Antonio Creek Bridge at Sonoma/Marin County Line. The bridge is anticipated to be completed by mid-November.

The project is on schedule to be completed by the end of 2018 with both northbound and southbound traffic on the new bridge, connector routes, and a Class 1 bicycle path.

Project 7, MSN B-2 (Petaluma River Bridge), has been officially accepted.

Project 11, MSN C-2A – sound wall construction along Highway 101 north in Petaluma. The plan is to take the sound wall project and implement with the MSN C2. This allows for stronger competition to receive project funding.

Project 12, MSN B-2 Phase 2, has achieved Ready to List status. The project will be advertised in late 2017, with construction commencing in late 2018.

The Highway 37 Policy Committee has been rescheduled to September 25th. The draft SR 37 Transportation and Sea Level Rise Corridor Improvement Plan will be discussed.

Chairman Rabbitt asked about the increases of off ramp traffic at the Petaluma Boulevard South exit.

Mr. Cameron responded Caltrans has officially noted that traffic has not increased.

Seana Gause reported on the Highway 116/121 intersection improvements. Caltrans is currently working with Parsons to respond to comments on the environmental document.

Director Gorin requested further information on the biological opinion from the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

Highway 116, Sebastopol to Cotati, project has awarded Ghilotti Construction to pave sections in two phases starting in downtown Sebastopol.

B. RCPA Items 4.3. RCPA Projects and Programming

4.3.1. Electric Vehicles – charging station permit streamlining update (ACTION)*

Carolyn Glanton spoke on efforts to streamline electric vehicle charging permits. Assembly Bill 1236 was passed in 2015, which requires streamlining of electric vehicle charging stations, and also includes an installation checklist. Permitting offices in each jurisdiction must provide resources online and to provide electronic submission.

RCPA staff has been working with Redwood Empire Association of Code Officials (REACO) to engage officials on the dialogue of this adoption, and have helped develop guidance for jurisdictions. The role of RCPA and REACO is to create communication and consistency among the jurisdictions. All of the jurisdictions in Sonoma County have adopted, or are in the process of adopting, the streamlining process.

AB 1236 requires jurisdictions to adopt the streamlining process by September 30th.

RCPA staff is available to help provide permit guides and to train permit staff.

Additionally, RCPA has been focused on Shift Sonoma County. In July, the RCPA Coordination Committee featured a presentation on Shift

Staff Report To: Sonoma County Transportation Authority

From: James R. Cameron, Director of Projects & Programming

Item: 3.2– Highway 101 – Marin Sonoma Narrows Caltrans Cooperative Agreement 4-2213-A7

Date: October 9, 2017

Issue:

Shall the Board approve proposed Caltrans Cooperative Agreement Amendment 4-2213-A7 for right-of-way services needed to complete the Highway 101 Marin Sonoma Narrows (MSN) B2 and C3 contracts.

Background:

SCTA and Caltrans entered into two cooperative agreements with Caltrans (Coops 4-2213 and 4-2317) for right of way services for what are now the Marin Sonoma Narrows Contracts B2 and C3. Initially, the Contacts were named MSN B2 (Petaluma Boulevard South Interchange) and MSN B4 (Petaluma River Bridge and Lakeville Highway Interchange). After several rounds of funding and programming changes, the Petaluma River Bridge scope was added to MSN Contract B2 and the remaining Lakeville Highway Interchange scope was renamed Contract C3.

The MSN C3 project completed construction in December 2016 and the MSN B2 completed construction in June 2017. Both projects are currently finalizing project close out activities, including right-of-way engineering to set new property boundaries and to provide final mapping. In addition, the MSN B2 and C3 Contracts required the full or partial acquisition and/or temporary construction easements on thirty (30) parcels. Several of these parcels required eminent domain proceedings to obtain possession of the parcels which required an extensive amount of support by Caltrans to finalize the acquisition process. Caltrans estimates that an additional $500,000 is needed to complete the right-of-way support and engineering for MSN Contracts B2 and C3.

Coop 4-2317 was originally written for the MSN-B4 contract and is 100% funded by Measure M for right-of-way capital and support services. The Coop has been amended three times and currently provides budgets of $797,490 for capital costs ($615,000 to Caltrans + $182,490 to SCTA to buy wetland mitigation credits) and $571,876 for support costs ($271,876 to Caltrans + $300,000 SCTA). SCTA support cost was used for appraisal and acquisition agent services and legal services. After the last amendment to Coop 4-2317 it was agreed that all future Caltrans expenditures on MSN-B2 or C3 will be accounted for on Coop 4-2213.

Coop 4-2213 has been amended six times and currently provides $2,678,000 (100% Measure M funds) for right-of-way support and $15,939,000 ($915,000 Measure M) for right of way capital. Now that construction is complete, Caltrans has requested a budget increase of $500,000 to complete the right of way support and engineering services for the MSN B2 and C3 projects. Since the property acquisition which is funded by right of way capital is complete, it has been determined there are adequate funds remaining in the right of way capital budget to cover the additional right of way support need. This cooperative agreement will transfer $500,000 of Measure M funds from the right of way capital budget to the right of way support budget for a net zero increase in cost. The total Measure M funds for right of way support and right of way capital will remain the same ($3,593,000).

Policy Impacts:

None.

Fiscal Impacts:

Approval of Cooperative Agreement 2213-A7 will transfer $500,000 of existing Measure M right of way capital funds to right of way support. There will be no new financial impacts and the total Measure M funds for right of way support and right of way capital will remain the same.

Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the Board authorize the Chair to execute the attached Amendment No. 7 to Cooperative Agreement 4-2213 increasing the budget for right-of-way support by $500,000 and decreasing the budget for right-of-way capital by $500,000, in substantially similar form as provided for in the attachment, subject to the final review and approval by legal counsel.

Staff Report To: Sonoma County Transportation Authority

From: James R. Cameron, Director of Projects and Programming

Item: 3.3- Highway 101 – MSN-B2 Phase 2, PS&E Contract Amendment 3 SCTA13008-A3

Date: October 9, 2017

Issue:

Shall the SCTA Board approve the proposed URS Corporation (a subsidiary of AECOM) Amendment SCTA13008-A3 for additional scope for the Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PS&E) phase of the Marin Sonoma Narrows (MSN) B2 Phase 2 – Sonoma Median Widening project?

Background:

The Highway 101 Marin Sonoma Narrows (MSN) project is an estimated $724 Million project (with escalation) to widen Highway 101 for High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV) from Route 37 in Novato to just south of Old Redwood Highway in Petaluma. To accelerate project delivery, SCTA, Caltrans, the Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM) have divided the project into more than a dozen projects.

The B2 Phase 2 project will add 4.0 miles of southbound and 4.3 miles of northbound High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes to US 101 from 0.6 miles south of the Marin/Sonoma County line (MRN 27.0) to 0.3 miles south of the East Washington Street Overcrossing in Sonoma County (SON 4.5). The HOV lanes will end before the proposed northbound lane drop north of Lakeville Highway (SR 116 East) and the proposed southbound lane drop 0.5 miles south of the Marin/Sonoma county line resulting in 8.8 miles of a full width 3rd lane and 8.3 miles of Highway 101 HOV lanes.

On May 14, 2012, the SCTA Board of Directors authorized re-programming of East Washington project's Federal Earmark savings for the design of MSN B2 Phase 2. The Board also authorized staff to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) in order to select a qualified design firm to do the design work. Staff issued an RFP on May 25, 2012, but was forced to reject all proposals in July 2012, due to an unexpected change in the Federal Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program which is required for all contracts with Federal funds.

On November 30, 2012, SCTA and Caltrans entered into Cooperative Agreement 4-2462, which is necessary to define the roles and responsibilities and allocate the $2,642,000 budget between SCTA and Caltrans. In accordance with Coop 4-2462, SCTA was assigned a budget of $2,492,000 for the design of the project. The remaining $170,000 budget was assigned to Caltrans to prepare the right of way certification and for the final PS&E packaging necessary to advertise the project for construction.

On January 4, 2013, SCTA issued a new RFP to select a qualified design firm to provide PS&E services for the MSN B2 Phase 2 project using the new Federal requirements. On January 25, 2013, four firms submitted proposals. On February 14, 2013, a panel consisting of SCTA and Caltrans staff interviewed two of those firms. Based on the proposals and interviews, the panel selected URS Corporation as the most qualified firm to provide the necessary PS&E services. URS Corporation has provided SCTA with PS&E services for the successful delivery of the Highway 101 Central-A, Central-B, MSN-B2, and MSN-C3 contracts.

Page 20: SCTA-RCPA Agenda Packet€¦ · 9/10/2017  · County Regional Climate Protection Authority (RCPA) 2. Public comment on items not on the regular agenda 3. Consent Calendar A. SCTA/RCPA

On March 11, 2013 the Board authorized the SCTA Chair to execute the original agreement with URS for MSN B2 Phase 2 PS&E Services (SCTA13008) for a not to exceed amount of $2,492,000. The effective date for the original agreement is August 8, 2013 with a not to exceed amount of $1,982,972 for a 24-month term.

On October 20, 2014 URS submitted a 100% design package but could not finalize the design until construction funding is identified, therefore the project design was put on hold. URS was asked to provide design details for Caltrans to explore amending the existing environmental permits in lieu of the lengthier new permit process and ensure the project is as shovel ready as possible.

On August 6, 2015 URS and SCTA Executive Director executed Amendment #1 to SCTA13008 that was ratified by the SCTA Board on September 14, 2015 for a three-year time extension which extended the term to August 7th, 2018.

On February 6, 2017, the SCTA successfully secured the final funding needed to construct the MSN B2P2 Project. A summary of the funding plan for the construction of the project is as follows:

Local - Measure M $15.2 million

Federal - MSN Earmark Savings $0.8 million

Federal - Re-purposed earmark $15.0 million

State - TCIF (Prop 1B) $3.0 million

Federal - STP/CMAQ 1.0 million

Total $35.0 million

With construction funding secured, SCTA proceeded to finalize the design of the previously shelved MSN B2P2 project.

On March 27, 2017, the Board authorized the SCTA Chair to execute Amendment No. 2 to SCTA13008 with URS to address additional scope changes increasing the total compensation by $445,155 from $1,982,972 to $2,428,127, and an 18-month time extension for the completion of PS&E, design services during construction which extended the term from August 7, 2018 to February 8, 2021.

Since that time, URS is aggressively pursuing the final delivery of PS&E to Caltrans. The project is scheduled to have Caltrans advertise the construction contract in late 2017 and start construction in early 2018. To meet the aggressive delivery schedule, an additional amendment is required to address contract scope changes that were not originally anticipated.

The changes in scope include:

• Two additional PS&E submittals to Caltrans that were not originally anticipated due to changes in standards

• Developing a hydromodification mitigation plan required to obtain the 401 permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board

• Performing additional structural analysis for one soil-nail retaining wall requested by FHWA

• Performing additional plan revisions to address revised standards issued by Caltrans on July 21, 2017

Page 21: SCTA-RCPA Agenda Packet€¦ · 9/10/2017  · County Regional Climate Protection Authority (RCPA) 2. Public comment on items not on the regular agenda 3. Consent Calendar A. SCTA/RCPA

• Preparation of a conceptual Storm Water Prevention Pollution Plan to allow the contractor to begin work 15 calendar days after notice to proceed, rather than the standard 55 calendar days

• Additional coordination with other ongoing MSN projects including MSN C2, MSN B3, and corridor landscape projects

SCTA staff has reviewed these contractual scope changes and agrees that although they are within the scope of the project as intended, they are beyond the scope of work approved in the contract. The estimated budget for the additional scope is $232,251. In addition, additional budget is needed in order to complete design services during construction in the amount of $396,000 for a total increase of $663,873. SCTA staff recommends the approval of this amendment increasing the total compensation by $663,873 from $2,428,127 to $3,092,000.

Policy Impacts:

There are no policy impacts associated with the recommendations.

Fiscal Impacts:

The funds for this amendment are from a Federal Earmark for the Marin Sonoma Narrows. The contract is 100% federally funded using toll credits in lieu of a non-federal match. The total contract value remains within the contract budget for the PS&E phase ($2,492,000) plus an additional $600,000 of federal funds from the construction phase to be used to perform the design services during construction for a total not to exceed amount of $3,092,000.

Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the Board authorize the Chair to execute the attached Amendment No. 3 to Contract SCTA13008 with URS Corporation (a subsidiary of AECOM) increasing the budget for PS&E by $232,251 and the design services during construction by $396,000 for a total not to exceed amount of $3,092,000, in substantially similar form as provided for in the attachment, subject to the final review and approval by legal counsel.

Staff Report To: Sonoma County Transportation Authority

From: Seana L. S. Gause, Senior – Programming and Projects

Item: Status of Measure M annual reporting letters

Date: October 9, 2017

Issue:

What is the status of the annual reporting for expenditures of Measure M funds for FY16/17?

Background:

The Traffic Relief Act of Sonoma County requires that agencies receiving Measure M funds report on how those funds were spent in a given fiscal year. Reporting letters are due on September 15 of each year, reporting on the previous fiscal year. This requirement is outlined in the 2017 Strategic Plan, Policy 4.12. Reporting letters are required for the following programs:

• Transit/Rail (LBT/Rail) • Local Streets Rehabilitation (LSR) • Local Streets Projects (LSP) • Bicycle/Pedestrian Projects (Bike/Ped)

If an agency fails to submit Measure M reporting letters by the deadline, the Strategic Plan states that the next fiscal year’s allocation or reimbursements for expenditures (in the case of Local Streets or Bike/Ped Projects) may be withheld until the reporting letter is received. Upon the suggestion of the auditor, governing bodies of any Measure M recipients delinquent in submitting annual reporting letters may be notified in writing.

The LSR program allows cities to carry over funds for up to three years in order to amass funds for larger projects. The program also requires that if an agency has chosen to carry over funds from previous fiscal year’s allocation, interest on the sum must be reported. Banked funds must be spent in the third year, or SCTA reserves the right to withhold the next year’s allocation until the jurisdiction’s balance is drawn down, as is outlined in the Strategic Plan, Policy 4.1. Several jurisdictions show a partial expenditure of funds, but are banking some portion of the balance for future expenditures.

All LSR reporting letters were received by the 9/15/17 deadline.

LBT program funds are distributed on a quarterly basis. All transit agencies receiving Measure M funding are required to submit an annual audit to accompany their reporting. Because the annual audits usually take some months to produce after the close of the fiscal year, they are not always complete by the reporting deadline of September 15, thus transit agencies are given until December 31 to submit the required audit. Reporting letters remain due on September 15. All transit agencies submitted their annual reporting letters.

Staff Report To: SCTA Board of Directors

From: Suzanne Smith, Executive Director

Item: 3.5 - Resolution No. 2017-025 authorizing the purchase of prior public service for employee members of the Sonoma County Employees’ Retirement Association

Date: October 9, 2017

Issue:

Shall the Board adopt Resolution No. 2017-025 authorizing employees to purchase prior public service as part of their membership in the Sonoma County Employees’ Retirement Association (SCERA)?

Background:

Employees of the SCTA are members of SCERA for retirement benefits. SCERA notified the SCTA that per Government Code 31641.95 a resolution is required in order to enable employees to purchase prior public service. The purchase of prior service allows an employee to purchase service credit for time worked for the federal government or another California public agency not participating in SCERA if the employee won’t receive a retirement benefit from that agency and does not establish reciprocity. Sonoma County has taken the position that all employee members are allowed to make these purchases based on prior actions by the Board of Supervisors.

Policy Impacts:

This action brings into compliance past practice and aligns with the benefits provided to other members of SCERA.

Fiscal Impacts:

None.

Staff Recommendation:

Consider adoption Resolution No. 2017-025 authorizing employees to purchase prior public service as part of their membership in the Sonoma County Employee Retirement Association.

Staff Report To: RCPA Board of Directors

From: Lauren Casey, Director of Climate Programs

Item: 3.6 – BayREN Contract Amendments (ACTION)* Date: October 9, 2017

Issue:

Shall the Board authorize staff to execute the first amendment to the funding and implementation agreement (RCPA17004-A1) between the RCPA and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) for the implementation of the Bay Area Regional Energy Network (BayREN) Pay As You Save (PAYS) program? Shall the Board authorize staff to execute the first amendment (RCPA17005-A1) to the agreement between the RCPA and Frontier Energy, Inc. (formerly Bevilaqua-Knight, Inc.) for continued services related to PAYS implementation?

Background:

The RCPA represents the communities of Sonoma County in the implementation of BayREN programs, which are administered by ABAG.

This Amendment for the agreement with ABAG addresses several items:

• Corrects an error from the original contract budget which had Codes and Standards implementation funding incorrectly allocated as marketing and outreach;

• Adds $5,000 to the RCPA budget for Codes and Standards outreach to support local Zero Net Energy coordination; and

• Adds $15,000 to the RCPA budget for the Pay As You Save (PAYS program) to support increased services provided by Frontier Energy related to regional program scoping.

Policy Impacts:

Participation in BayREN programs supports the RCPA goal to increase energy efficiency.

Fiscal Impacts:

This adds $20,000 to the RCPA budget, $15,000 of which will be used to retain additional services from Frontier Energy.

Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the Board authorize staff to execute agreement RCPA17004-A1 to implement BayREN PAYS and Codes and Standards programs. Staff recommends that the Board authorize staff to execute agreement RCPA17005-A1 for assistance with PAYS implementation from Frontier Energy.

Staff Report To: RCPA Board of Directors

From: Lauren Casey, Director of Climate Programs

Item: 4.1.1 - CA2020 – action to decertify the Environmental Impact Report for the Climate Action 2020 and Beyond plan

Date: October 9, 2017

Issue:

Shall the Board adopt Resolution No. 2017-002 to decertify the Environmental Impact Report associated with the Climate Action 2020 and Beyond Plan?

Background:

The RCPA developed the Climate Action 2020 and Beyond Plan (CA2020) over the course of several years as a tool to identify local measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). The Plan was assessed for potential adverse environmental impacts of implementing these measures via a programmatic Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The CA2020 Plan was adopted by the RCPA Board in July, and the associated EIR was certified via RCPA Resolution Number 2016-002.

California River Watch filed a complaint against the RCPA’s adoption of the plan on the grounds of the adequacy of the EIR on several fronts: greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory methodology, measure certainty, range of alternatives, and adequacy of reply comments during the EIR process. Unfortunately, the Judgement issued by the trial court agreed with the petitioner on multiple counts, and requires that the RCPA Board rescind the resolution certifying the EIR for CA2020. The RCPA Board faced the option whether to appeal or agree to a stipulation of terms with California River Watch in response to the judgement. The financial risks and delays caused by an appeal were deemed to be too great relative to the benefit of preserving the EIR.

The Board authorized counsel and the Executive Director to enter into a settlement with California River Watch in which RCPA pays $226,912, comprised of $225,000 in attorney fees and $1,912 in costs, in two installment payments over two years. As further requirements of the settlement, RCPA would agree not to appeal, and California River Watch would reaffirm in signed correspondence on letterhead its commitment not to challenge the measures in the plan.

Policy Impacts:

This action will prevent the use of the Programmatic EIR in subsequent CEQA analysis for the purposes of the implementation of the CA2020 measures or for the analysis of GHG emissions. It will render the CA2020 Plan useful as an advisory document only, and will not prevent the implementation of the measures.

Fiscal Impacts:

None.

Staff Recommendation:

That the Board adopt Resolution No 2017-002 to decertify the EIR associated with CA2020.

Staff Report To: RCPA Board of Directors

From: Lauren Casey, Director of Climate Programs

Item: 4.1.2 – Next steps for RCPA climate action (ACTION)* Date: October 9, 2017

Issue:

Shall the Board adopt a Resolution to adopt updated greenhouse gas (GHG) targets, and goals for reducing GHGs and preparing for climate impacts? Shall the Board promote a model resolution to RCPA members as an option to create consistent countywide policy impetus behind coordinated climate action?

Background:

The RCPA developed the Climate Action 2020 and Beyond Plan (CA2020) over the course of several years, with input from all local city councils, the Board of Supervisors, local government staff, expert consultants, community sustainability leaders, and hundreds of members of the public. It put forth a comprehensive framework for coordinated action on climate change including updated, long-term greenhouse gas reduction targets, broad policy goals to guide work to reduce GHGs and prepare for local climate impacts, and reduction measures customized to each RCPA Member Jurisdiction.

The Environmental Impact Report developed along with the Plan was intended as a tool to ensure that GHG reduction measure do not create adverse environmental impacts such as habitat loss or noise, and to make future implementation of those measures easier for local government and by private project developers. Unfortunately, the pursuit of this strategy for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) opened the plan to a successful legal challenge related to CEQA procedures. The RCPA Board opted not to pursue an appeal for various reasons (see item 4.1.1).

The judgment against the RCPA was frustrating for many reasons. It stalled and ultimately stopped local jurisdictions’ efforts to adopt the climate action plan, despite the work each jurisdiction put in to ensure the plan matched local priorities. The plaintiff has admitted in public forums that it supports the goals of the plan, and the implementation of measures within it, but stated that it brought the case because the project didn’t go far enough. Staff track policy guidance and expert opinions on the best approaches to community scale climate action planning, and guidance from state agencies and industry professionals continue to validate the RCPA approach to climate action planning.

For these reasons, RCPA staff propose that the CAP, while no longer enforceable as a CEQA tool, can still serve as an advisory resource for the RCPA’s work to coordinate countywide climate protection efforts. The ideas contained in the plan – to advance smart land use, resource efficiency, carbon free electricity, fuel switching, etc. – are still good and valid, and aligned with the climate action strategies articulated in the State Scoping Plan established to achieve the goals of AB 32 and SB 32.

To create more clear direction for RCPA staff on an ongoing basis, the Board may consider adoption of Resolution No 2017-003, officially updating our GHG reduction targets and policy goals to reduce GHGs and

53

Page 54: SCTA-RCPA Agenda Packet€¦ · 9/10/2017  · County Regional Climate Protection Authority (RCPA) 2. Public comment on items not on the regular agenda 3. Consent Calendar A. SCTA/RCPA

prepare for local climate impacts. This resolution would achieve the same policy impetus behind climate action as would have the CA2020 Plan, but without the CEQA elements challenged by California River Watch.

The RCPA may also consider sharing the attached model resolution with each member jurisdiction, as a tool to codify updated commitments to the countywide collaboration on climate action, to update long term policy goals, and to consider pursuing the implementation of measures each jurisdiction had previously identified as good local opportunities. Taking this policy action at a city and county level would help create countywide consistency and clear guidance for RCPA and jurisdiction staff about coordinated implementation.

Even without a valid EIR, RCPA’s member agencies can still implement the measures in the plan if they either conduct CEQA review on the individual measures or find that the measures are exempt. In most instances, that should not be difficult and could be done with language like “that the adoption and implementation of the climate protection measures developed for the [jurisdiction] in Climate Action 2020 are categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to section 15308 of title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, because these measures constitute actions taken by a regulatory agency, as authorized by state or local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment.” The City of Sonoma did so upon adoption of its local measures, via the attached Resolution No 40-2016. Also, California River Watch has agreed to provide a signed letter on letterhead stating that it will not challenge the implementation of the measures.

In addition to pursuing the proposed policy action, the RCPA and/or its members may consider the following next steps:

• Evaluate updated approaches to GHG thresholds under CEQA. While the Plan cannot be used as a tool for making significance determinations for CEQA reviews of projects, the measures can be implemented. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District is beginning a process to update guidance for addressing GHGs under CEQA. RCPA staff will participate in this process and support local jurisdictions in considering how local thresholds may evolve.

• Pursue legislative solutions to avoid future CEQA challenges to beneficial projects. The RCPA may consider working with other stakeholders to pursue CEQA reform that protects environmentally beneficial emissions reduction actions from costly challenges that are contrary to CEQA’s basic purpose.

• Maintain a focus on implementation. With the enactment of SB 32, the State now has a 2030 target that can become the focus of GHG planning. The long term targets warrant increasingly deep reductions in GHG emissions, and for a scaling up in work to de-carbonize social systems. The RCPA will continue to explore funding and financing models that help implement the good ideas from the plan.

• Re-evaluate the RCPA approach to planning for the 2030 target. Unless CEQA reform happens, it is clear that future climate action plans must be developed with meticulous justification for methodology. State planning documents as well as other explanatory papers are already addressing this need, and RCPA will participate with other stakeholders.

• Support integration of climate action priorities within General Plans. All jurisdictions already have some climate policies in adopted general plans, and several have included goals and strategies from Climate Action 2020 in recent updates. As several other jurisdictions embark on General Plan updates, the RCPA Board and staff may serve as a resource to borrow analysis and ideas from prior

efforts as appropriate, to navigate General Plan and CEQA Guidelines, and to collaborate with other local jurisdictions.

In conclusion, RCPA staff are committed to minimizing the loss of momentum on climate action progress in Sonoma County however the Board sees fit.

Policy Impacts:

If adopted, these resolutions could provide some of the comprehensive policy framework that had been proposed in Climate Action 2020.

Fiscal Impacts:

None.

Staff Recommendation:

That the Board adopt Resolution No 2017-003 to update RCPA GHG targets and policy goals. That the Board promote the attached model resolution as a policy option for local jurisdictions to consider.

What is a travel model?

A tool that is used to estimate:

• How – Drive alone, carpool, take transit, walk, bike?

• Where – Where does a trip start and end? Where do people travel from and where do they want to go?

• When – peak or off-peak?

• and Why – commute, travel to school, other travel?

people travel now and in the future.

SCTA Model Scale – Intended Use• County level model• Need detailed project information for future projects

(alignment of new roadway or transit service, # of lanes, speed limit, transit frequencies, etc).

• Analysis is limited to transportation/traffic impacts• Model data is often used as a starting point in the estimation

of other impacts (Air Quality, Noise, etc.). More detailed local data is often required to provide reliable results for local analysis.

• Model estimates travel for 24 hour work day, and AM/PM peak periods.

Introduction These guidelines describe the policies, procedures, and protocols guiding the Sonoma County Transportation Authority’s (SCTA) Travel Demand Modeling (TDM) program and were prepared to ensure that the Authority’s governing board, and all of its member agencies support and are aware of these policies, procedures, and protocols. This document describes the products and services that are available through the modeling program and outlines how these benefit SCTA’s and local planning activities. Program Administration

Many transportation projects and development projects that are proposed, designed, or built in Sonoma County require an analysis of the potential impacts the project may impose on local and regional transportation systems. The Sonoma County Travel Model is regularly used to quantify these impacts. In the past SCTA and local jurisdictions have relied on outside contractors to run travel demand models and to perform travel demand analysis. The SCTA modeling program has been configured to maintain and operate the travel model in-house. Routine model analysis and maintenance is performed by SCTA staff with outside consultants providing additional modeling support when necessary. By maintaining the countywide model in-house, SCTA is able to provide local control over the modeling process, and is better able to provide customized analysis for SCTA’s planning activities and for member organizations quickly, efficiently, and economically. SCTA’s modeling program provides in-house technical modeling expertise and allows SCTA’s member organizations to exercise direct control over the modeling process. Local engineering and planning staff are able to participate in model development and improvement by participating in modeling discussions at SCTA advisory committees (the Technical Advisory and Planning Advisory Committees primarily), or by working directly with SCTA modeling and technical staff. Modeling Goals and Objectives

SCTA’s modeling program supports the authority’s planning and programming functions as laid out by SCTA’s mission statement:

"As a collaborative agency of the cities and County of Sonoma, we work together to maintain and improve our transportation network. We do so by prioritizing, coordinating, and maximizing the funding available to us and providing comprehensive, countywide planning. Our deliberations and decisions recognize the diverse needs within our county and the environmental and economic aspects of transportation planning."

The modeling program helps the Authority fulfill its mission by analyzing the transportation impacts of future growth, analyzing the countywide and local impact of regional projects, providing a modeling framework that allows staff to analyze alternative modes of transport, and by providing local modeling expertise and control over the maintenance, improvement, and operation of the travel model.

SCTA’s planning goals are outlined in chapter 4 of the 2016 Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP). The travel demand model allows the authority to evaluate how different actions including project implementation and policy approaches can help SCTA achieve CTP goals. CTP Chapter 6 – Evaluating Plan Performance provides an overview of this process. The modeling program provides modeling support, data, and analysis to the authority’s member organizations, other public and private organizations, and the public at large. SCTA technical and modeling staff continues to work with local engineering and planning staff to ensure that model output and analysis is readily available to SCTA member agencies and their designates. Staff works regularly with members of the public to provide information and training on SCTA’s travel demand model, travel modeling and forecasting theory and practice, and information and data produced by the modeling program or other agencies and organizations.

Scope of the Program The Sonoma County Travel Model was developed with a focus on the HWY 101 corridor and the larger regional transportation system. Efforts have been made to provide more detail in other parts of the county by incorporating local travel models into the countywide model, but the program’s primary focus remains on countywide regional travel demand impacts and supporting SCTA’s long range regional transportation planning efforts. It is important to consider that travel demand model data in general and SCTM projections in particular have limitations and should be used to predict trends and provide a generalized idea about impacts and travel changes. Model output is highly dependent on the quality of input data that is provided by local jurisdictions, and should always be reviewed by local experts for reasonableness. Geographically, the SCTM is focused on the HWY 101 corridor and urbanized areas and the quality of the model output decreases as one moves away from these locations. The model is intended to allow analysis of transportation and traffic impacts of projects and policies that impact a number of different jurisdictions, or to analyze impacts within cities that have regional significance. The model was not designed to perform detailed traffic studies for more local projects, though the countywide model data is often used as a starting point for these types of analysis. The

current model extent ends at the county boundary with limited representations of important out of county destinations and is primarily focused on travel occurring within Sonoma County. The model estimates travel for 24-hour average work days, and for work day AM and PM peak commute periods and does not currently estimate travel for weekends or holidays. Disclaimers explaining these limitations and discussing the intended uses of the provided data are provided when the data is delivered to the requesting party. Products and Services The data and analysis provided by SCTA’s modeling program are used to support local and regional transportation planning and project development activities. Local agencies, their consultants, and the public often request model data or specialized analysis to support their planning and capital improvement activities or for informational purposes. SCTA staff has been faced with the challenge of trying to fill a variety of large and small data requests in a timely and efficient manner. In order to meet the majority of this demand, SCTA provides baseline model run data and associated modeling input data upon request. Although it is relatively straightforward to provide data from already completed model runs, it can require a significant amount of staff time to fill data requests that require changes to the model or enhancements to baseline datasets. Staff works with data requestors to schedule and prioritize model work and other analysis in order to maintain the program’s focus on supporting SCTA’s countywide and regional long range transportation planning priorities, while also providing customized analysis for local projects in a timely manner.

Unprocessed data that has been developed or provided by other organizations for use in the modeling program is not provided without the explicit permission of that organization. Staff refers individuals requesting data provided by other organizations to the data originator unless previous agreements or arrangements have been made for SCTA to distribute this information to requesting parties. Examples of data products made available through the modeling program:

• Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) estimates • Level of Service (LOS) estimates • Facility level existing and future traffic estimates • Average travel times • Average trip lengths • Vehicle and person trip estimates • Estimates of travel delay • Mode share estimates • Transportation bottleneck locations • Trip path selection estimates

• Countywide travel flow estimates • Future transit ridership • County, jurisdiction, and traffic analysis zone housing and employment

growth estimates • GIS or cartographic representations of model input and output

Modeling Priorities The travel model is being continuously updated and improved. The following list of modeling tasks and improvement priorities was assembled in conjunction with SCTA’s modeling subcommittee and advisory committees. These priorities are re-evaluated on an ongoing basis and revised as necessary.

Tasks have not been prioritized individually but have been divided into work task groupings that will be addressed by staff in the short, mid, and long term. Short-term tasks are not necessarily more important than long-term tasks and vice versa.

Short-term or ongoing tasks (ongoing or to be completed over the next year):

• Provide baseline (2015) and projected year (2040) model projections in easily usable formats (Excel and GIS formats).

• Update current land use data and evaluating projection year (2040) data for possible update and changes based on new information.

• Maintain and update general plan buildout model estimates. • Track local pending development and permitted projects and

ensuring that these projects are reflected in model forecasts. • Update model transportation networks. • Prepare specialized data products. • Evaluate non-Measure M projects. • Revalidate travel model using 2015 traffic counts, transit ridership,

active transportation counts, and transportation surveys and data.

Mid-term tasks (to be completed over the next 1-3 years): • Analyze travel demand impacts of Measure M projects – to be

completed as part of the next CTP update. • Analyze travel demand impacts of other projects of regional

significance (next CTP update). • Improve modeling capability to analyze alternative modes. • Improve model capabilities for analyzing tourism, visitor, and

special event travel. • Develop non-peak hour and weekend modeling methodology and

data-sets.

Long-term tasks (to be completed as resources allow): • Shift to activity based modeling framework.

• Expand geographic coverage of travel model beyond county boundary.

Coordination with other Modeling Efforts SCTA staff compares SCTM output, assumptions, and methodology with regional, county, and jurisdictional travel demand models in the San Francisco Bay Area region. Efforts are made to coordinate modeling efforts within Sonoma County with other existing regional and local models where possible. Staff attends regional travel demand modeling workshops and user group meetings to stay informed on regional model developments, and will keep up to date on any local modeling efforts being undertaken by Sonoma County cities. Technical and Operational Policies

SCTA’s travel demand modeling efforts focus predominately on maintaining and updating model inputs, running the model and interpreting model output, and model improvement and validation. STCM model inputs are maintained in GIS (geographic information system) and tabular databases, which can be seamlessly displayed and combined with other data maintained by SCTA staff and local jurisdictions. In previous versions of the SCTM, the model inputs and outputs were created without any geographic orientation and were maintained in proprietary formats which made exporting and displaying this information unwieldy and difficult. The transfer of model inputs and outputs into a GIS based database system has streamlined data maintenance and data sharing processes, allowing all model inputs to be maintained in a single system that is easy to use, and that most local staff and their consultants are able to access and work with easily. The quality of model estimates and output are only as good as the input data that is being used to run the model. As demographic, land use, and transportation network data improve and are more accurate, model projections are also be more reliable. Staff continues to incorporate demographic, development, and project completion data available from local jurisdictions, regional, state, and federal agencies, and other data sources into the travel model. Continuous model updates and improvements ensure that model inputs are current and accurate, and reflect current land use and travel conditions and trends in travel behavior. Transportation System (Network) Updates

The regional transportation system is represented in the travel model by simplified networks. These networks are coded with information representing road capacity, functional classification, average speeds, directional travel, headways and fares for transit, and facility location and connectivity. It is important that this information accurately represent the current state of the transportation system and that the future projected transportation network be a

good representation of what will be built in the future. Staff continues to monitor changes in Sonoma County’s transportation network and makes changes as necessary to ensure that representations of the existing and future transportation system are accurate. Future network additions are focused on Measure M projects, Caltrans projects, and local projects with significant regional importance and are consistent with the regional travel demand model (Travel Model One), Plan Bay Area 2040, and SCTA’s Comprehensive Transportation Plan. Land Use Data Updates

Historically updates to travel model land use inputs have coincided with the Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) update schedule. CTP updates generally occur on a four-year cycle. These major CTP updates are supplemented by intermittent updates as requested by local jurisdictions which are associated with project level analysis or local planning efforts. Staff will continue to maintain the major model update schedule associated with the CTP update and is working with local jurisdictions to develop a countywide permitted and pending development database which will be used to ensure that model land use assumptions are consistent with local planning activities and development trends. Staff uses universal data collection reporting methodologies to categorize and track housing, employment, and other growth in order to ensure that development data provided by different organizations is consistent countywide.

As discussed earlier in this document, model data products will be made available upon request including GIS and tabular versions of: input land use data for base (2015) and projected year (2040), model road and transit networks, travel demand projections by Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) and network section, and other standard model reports summarizing VMT, delay, travel times, and other transportation metrics. Any work requiring additional manipulation of the baseline model output shall be handled on a case-by-case basis and may require the data user to a pay market rate fee for the additional services being requested or shall enter into a formal agreement allowing the user to obtain a copy of the model for use outside the program.

Those requesting model inputs, outputs, scripts, or reports shall complete and submit a SCTM Data Request form to SCTA staff identifying the requesting individual/ organization, data/files requested, and data purpose (see Attachment A). Any changes or improvements to model files, inputs, or reports should be submitted to SCTA staff for possible inclusion in the countywide model. Model modification and improvement Over time a number of local travel models have been incorporated into the SCTM. Detail from the Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Windsor, and Petaluma travel demand models has been incorporated into the countywide model.

Functional and technical improvements are routinely made to the model when time and resources allow. Improvements have included changes and increases to model TAZs, network changes, additions or changes to model land use categories and trip generation formulas, improved reporting and visualization functionality, and coding efficiency changes. These structural changes and model improvements are undertaken when they are able to improve the quality and usability of the products produced by the modeling program.

Training

New modeling techniques, software, and GIS capabilities should be incorporated into the modeling program when they will improve the quality of the output, and/or make it easier to deliver model information to SCTA’s member organizations, their consultants, or the public. SCTA staff regularly participates in regional, statewide, and national technical modeling training programs and information exchange networks in order to keep up with recent developments and trends in travel demand modeling. Staff is also available to provide information on and provide training to local staff on the SCTM, travel modeling, and technical data analysis.

Model Validation

The model should be able to replicate observed conditions before being used to produce future-year forecasts. The Model Validation and Reasonableness Checking Manual published by the U.S. Department of Transportation (Federal Highways Administration – FHWA) provides guidance on how travel demand models should be validated and checked for reasonableness. SCTA bases its model validation procedure on the recommendations provided in this document.

Model validation is performed in conjunction with major model updates that precede updates to SCTA’s Comprehensive Transportation Plan. The services of independent consultants familiar with travel demand models and model validation are retained to assist staff with model validation.

Staff uses the following methods to validate the travel model:

• Check modeled countywide vehicle miles traveled and trips per person rates against typical values provided by FHWA and values reported by MTC and other counties for reasonableness.

• Compare predicted or modeled link volumes to ground traffic count volumes using available traffic counts. Peak hour and daily traffic count data is obtained from Caltrans and local jurisdictions. Link volume comparisons should be scattered across the countywide transportation system where ground counts are available, and should cover high and lower volume transportation system links. Staff

generates a list and map of network/transportation system links and available ground count locations in order to determine if steps should be taken to collect additional ground counts in locations where data is unavailable.

• Predicted/modeled link volumes should be within the deviation ranges to ground count volumes recommended by FHWA. Higher functional class links (freeways and principal arterials), which normal carry larger travel volumes (10,000 Annual Daily Traffic (ADT) and above), are recommended to be within a 7% deviation of ground counts, and lower functional class links (collectors or roads with volumes of 5,000 ADT and below) to be within a 25% deviation of ground counts.

• Check future trip generation, distribution, and link volume for reasonableness by comparing model results to regional and statewide model results, comparison to transportation trends, and consultation with SCTA advisory committees.

• Compare predicted or modeled mode shares and transit ridership to existing transit ridership counts and historical/observed mode share rates (US Census, Bay Area and CA Statewide travel surveys).

• Land use audits – Model land use inputs are reviewed using visual and tabular representations of this data. Outliers and gaps are identified and corrected as necessary. Draft model run results are used to identify possible errors or omissions in land use inputs.

• Transportation network audits - Model networks are reviewed using various visual representations and tabular versions of input transportation network data. Draft model run results will often quickly highlight any errors or omissions in model transportation networks. Corrections and revisions are made as necessary.

• Dynamic Validation/Sensitivity Testing – Dynamic validation tests the model’s ability to respond reasonably to changes in inputs. Changes to land use, road networks, transit service, travel costs, and transportation policies are tested as part of the SCTM dynamic validation process.

Program Evaluation In order to ensure the long term viability of the program, it is critical that the program be periodically reevaluated. Staff will work with SCTA advisory committees to evaluate the model program and to recommend changes to the modeling program or it’s associated policies periodically.

From an administrative standpoint the following questions will be used to assess the performance of the program:

• Is the SCTM being primarily used to support the planning priorities of SCTA?

• Is the SCTM being adequately maintained and does it accurately represent current and expected countywide travel?

• Are the data products and analytical services available through the program sufficient for SCTA and local planning needs?

• Is there a significant unmet data need that would warrant changes to the model, model focus, or data products available through the modeling program?

From a technical/operational standpoint, the following performance criteria will be used to evaluate the adequacy of the modeling program:

• Can the existing structure and functionality of the SCTM be used to adequately support the long range planning priorities of the SCTA?

• Are existing land use update procedures and protocols working? • Is there a significant deficiency in model outputs that would warrant a

major reconfiguration of the existing model? Staff will routinely review the status of the modeling program and will address any deficiencies as resources allow. Staff will conduct a comprehensive review of program operations and model performance during each major model update and will make recommendations for addressing possible deficiencies. Staff will work with SCTA advisory committees to perform this comprehensive program review as part of the CTP update cycle.

Staff Report To: Sonoma County Transportation Authority

From: Janet Spilman, Director of Planning

Item: 4.2.2 – Review of traffic mitigation fees and projects

Date: October 9, 2017

Issue: Should the SCTA review and update projects eligible for regional traffic mitigation fees collected by the City of Rohnert Park as per SCTA Agreement SCTA05003?

Background: In 2006, the City of Rohnert Park applied to LAFCO for permission to annex land now known as the University District. It was acknowledged by all parties that the project would have significant traffic impacts, both within and beyond City boundaries. The developer of the University District agreed to make payments to fund mitigation for those regional impacts.

It was determined that the SCTA was the most appropriate entity to hold these funds and was charged with allocating the funds to eligible projects via a to be determined process. At the time, traffic impacts in the Penngrove area were an unmitigated concern and a high priority for the County and the SCTA already had a financial commitment, through Measure M, to a project that would improve circulation in the Penngrove Area.

Development of the University District, imminent in 2007, took much longer as a result of the economic downturn the following year. Now in 2017, Rohnert Park has begun to collect fees and pass them to the SCTA as per the agreement.

In the intervening decade traffic conditions and project priorities have shifted. A review of the potential projects described the original agreement should be undertaken with Rohnert Park staff and legal counsel to determine the best and most appropriate use of the funds moving forward.

Policy Impacts:

The concept of regional traffic mitigation fees has been discussed several times since 2002. The tension was historically trying to balance the needs of existing residents and impacts of new development. The vast difference between the amount of potential funds collected from new development and the high cost of infrastructure projects diminished the viability of a regional fee program until Measure M was approved by voters to help relieve the traffic impacts from existing residents.

Financial Impacts:

A total of $704,831.85 in Regional Traffic Mitigation Funds have been received to date from the City of Rohnert Park.

Recommended Action:

Direct staff to work with the City of Rohnert Park and legal counsel to review the Agreement and identify and analyze potential projects. Staff would return to SCTA with a process to determine an appropriate list of projects at a later date.

Staff Report To: SCTA Board of Directors

From: Suzanne Smith, Executive Director

Item: 4.3.1 – report out on the Measure M Ad Hoc Committee

Date: October 9, 2017

Issue:

What is the status of the work being conducted by the Measure M Ad Hoc Committee related to a potential ballot measure in November 2018?

Background:

The Measure M Ad Hoc Committee has been meeting since November 2016 to discuss the process, timing and approach to a possible sales tax measure extension in November 2018.

To date, the Ad Hoc has met with stakeholders, discussed pavement condition data, assessed transit data and developed a draft maintenance of effort policy. The Ad Hoc presented a straw man proposal to the Board in March 2017 and is still using that as the basis for discussion about the content of an expenditure plan.

Since the Ad Hoc was created, two significant transportation efforts have been undertaken at the State and regional level that could impact the content of an expenditure plan – Senate Bill 1 and Regional Measure 3. The primary impact of these funding programs is related to completing Highway 101 in Petaluma. Unfortunately, the timing for both programs is such that the Board may not know until May or June 2018, if we will be able to secure funding for Highway 101. The uncertainty in timing is based on several factors:

• SB1 processes for the Solutions for Congested Corridors program will be completed in May 2018

• SB1 is facing a challenge and a ballot measure to rescind the program could be before California voters in 2018

• Regional Measure 3 is awaiting signature by the Governor; if approved it will go to voters in 2018

The Ad Hoc Committee will continue to work on elements of the expenditure plan concepts and will report out to the full Board throughout the process.

Policy Impacts:

None.

Fiscal Impacts:

None.

Staff Recommendation:

No action is required.

Staff Report To: RCPA Board of Directors

From: Lauren Casey, Director of Climate Programs

Item: 4.4 – Shift Sonoma County Plan (ACTION)* Date: October 9, 2017

Issue:

Shall the Board adopt the final Shift Sonoma County Low Carbon Transportation Action Plan?

Background:

The SCTA and RCPA were awarded a planning grant from the Strategic Growth Council to develop the Shift Sonoma County Plan, a low carbon transportation action plan. The purpose of the project was to assess the feasibility of various transportation solutions in Sonoma County, and to identify high priority local actions to implement them. The Comprehensive Transportation Plan and Climate Action 2020 and Beyond laid the foundations of this project, by identifying the role that transportation demand management, bike share, car share, and electric vehicles can play in achieving local climate and transportation goals.

The Public Draft version of the Plan was presented to the Board in July for feedback, prior to a two-month long outreach effort to solicit additional community and stakeholder input.

The outreach process included a series of public workshops and presentations, to local Councils, the Sonoma Clean Power Board, and SCTA/RCPA committees. In addition, the final plan was informed by input provided via a series of surveys:

• Shift Sonoma County Strategy Survey (September 2017, 59 participants) • Sonoma County Transportation Survey (January 2017, 327 participants) • Shift Sonoma County Market Surveys (2016) • Sonoma County Comprehensive Transportation Plan Survey (2015, 334 participants)

The feedback helped guide specific barriers that are addressed through the proposed actions from the Shift plan. As the plan leads to implementation of these strategies, public awareness and understanding of new mobility options will continue to be a priority and challenge. Staff also compiled feedback received from the Board and outreach process and tried to address as much as possible through final edits to improve the clarity and organization of the document, and make it more responsive to community priorities.

The following major updates were made:

• Added a section on equity to each strategy chapter, and added a map of local communities of concern • Added a marketing/outreach implementation section • Added a section on public outreach and plan development process

114

Page 115: SCTA-RCPA Agenda Packet€¦ · 9/10/2017  · County Regional Climate Protection Authority (RCPA) 2. Public comment on items not on the regular agenda 3. Consent Calendar A. SCTA/RCPA

• Added some clarity about what this plan does/doesn’t do • Added a column to the action lists that identifies that implementing entities • Added citations, references, and additional general resources • Updated tables with titles and sources • Added recommended actions, per stakeholder input, including:

o Added an action to combine charging with solar carports/canopies o Added car dealerships to coordination section o Suggested "Standardization of price structures for charging stations countywide" per Local

Government EV Partnership input o Added language around Autonomous Vehicles and planning for the future o Added joining the West Coast Fleet Initiative o Added public-private partnerships to expand EV charging infrastructure in Sonoma County o Added policy recommendations favoring ridesharing when partnering with transportation

network companies o Added bike share education in lower income and non-English speaking communities o Added bike share partnerships with tourism-related businesses and bike shops o Added policy recommendations for reduced parking requirements when incorporating bike

share or car share in new developments • Combined similar actions for simplicity

Staff also made some grammatical and formatting improvements to make the document look and read better.

Next Steps

If the Board approves of the edits made in this final Plan, staff will publish it and post sections of it online in more accessible formats. The remainder of the Shift budget and scope will focus on marketing and outreach related to the Shift solutions, encouraging residents to utilize strategies and get out of their single occupancy vehicles, and supporting SCTA/RCPA members in using Shift toolkit resources to take priority actions.

Also, unlike traditional comprehensive plans, the Shift Plan is very implementation focused, and is therefore intended to be revised as new ideas emerge and lessons are learned. Staff anticipate updating data and recommendations within the Shift Plan in the future, without completing another multi-year planning effort.

Policy Impacts:

Low carbon transportation options are essential to the mission of both agencies and are in alignment with the 2016 Comprehensive Transportation Plan and the RCPA’s Regional Climate Action Plan. Adoption of the Final Shift Sonoma County Plan will provide direction to SCTA/RCPA staff on implementation priorities. Recommendations in the plan may also be considered for policy action in SCTA/RCPA Member jurisdictions.

Fiscal Impacts:

Work on the Shift Sonoma County Plan is funded by a Strategic Growth Council grant that must be completed by the end of calendar year 2017.

Staff Recommendation:

That the Board adopt the final Shift Sonoma County Low Carbon Transportation Action Plan and consider implementing actions within local jurisdictions.

By October of each year, the SCTA must adopt three Final Budgets in order for operations to continue. The three budgets cover the SCTA general operations, Measure M and the Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA).

This staff report covers the FY17/18 Measure M Final Budget. Prior year information is included with FY16/17 actual revenues and expenditures.

Under the Measure M program, the SCTA must adopt a summary budget that includes all the individual budgets for each program category included in the Measure as well as separate budgets for the bond proceeds and bond debt service. Once revenue for the full sales tax program has been estimated it is then assigned to each program category based on the percent prescribed in Measure M. The Measure M Final Budget also includes anticipated expenses related to projects and administration within each program category. This budget action enables Measure M funds to be kept separately from other SCTA funds.

The Measure M Final Budget for FY17/18 has been prepared assuming a 3% growth in sales tax revenue projection over the FY16/17 actual sales tax revenues. The sales tax revenue projections are based on revenues received from the Board of Equalization (BOE). BOE revenues are received approximately three months behind fiscal year reporting timelines. Per generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), SCTA reports revenues when they are earned and can be measured. Due to the length of time between when SCTA earns sales tax revenues and when the BOE sends those funds to the SCTA, SCTA needs to establish a sales tax receivable at the end of each fiscal year. The County’s Enterprise Financial System (EFS) entry is made by projecting the revenues for the first two months of the next fiscal year to estimate the final year-end sales tax revenue amount. Therefore, the first two months of sales tax revenues in FY17/18 are booked as receivables in EFS FY16/17. As a result, BOE revenues and EFS sales tax revenues are out of sync at the same moment in time.

In addition to sales tax revenue, the Measure M Final Budget for FY17/18 includes a projection on interest earned on deposits as well as reimbursements from other agencies based on cooperative agreements. Reimbursement revenue includes anticipated deposits from the City of Petaluma for design of the Rainier structure as part of MSN-C2, deposits from the City of Petaluma for the close out of the Old Redwood Highway

Interchange with the Highway 101 Central-C project, and deposits from Caltrans Local Assistance for the federally reimbursable design of the Highway 101 Marin Sonoma Narrows Median Widening project (MSN B2 Phase 2).

The Measure M Final Budget also includes anticipated expenses related to projects and administration based on the 2017 Measure M Strategic Plan, programming actions approved by the Board since the adoption of the 2017 Measure M Strategic Plan, and the most recent cash flow model. The Measure M Cash Flow Model incorporates audited sales tax revenues. The expenditures associated with Measure M are focused on project costs and administration. The FY17/18 Measure M Final Budget includes funding for all of the program categories including the following specific items:

• Project allocations including construction capital & support, right-of-way capital & support, conservation mitigation credits, and pre-construction project development phases

• Consultant services from URS (AECOM) and BKF for design services for Highway 101; Parsons Transportation for design of the 116/121 intersection, KNN for financial advisory services; VCA for project management; and Pisenti & Brinker, LLP, for audit services

• Accounting services

• Legal services (including legal services related to right-of-way acquisitions on Hwy 101 projects)

• Office expenses and printing services

• SCTA staff

• Interest and principal from the passenger rail program to the LSP program for a $2.8 Million 2014 inter-program loan.

• Bond interest and principal payments for 2011 Bonds and 2015 Bonds.

There are no planned loans from the LSP program to the Bike/Pedestrian program in FY 17/18. The current Cash Flow Model predicts a $20,000 Loan from LSP program to the Bike/Pedestrian program will be needed in FY 18/19. The loan from the LSP program to the Rail program approved in FY 13/14 began repayment to LSP in FY14/15 and will continue through FY20/21.

Policy Impacts:

None.

Fiscal Impacts:

Sales tax revenues (BOE revenues) for FY16/17 increased 4.3% over FY15/16 revenues. SCTA is projecting that revenues will continue to grow at a 3% rate for FY17/18. Expenditures are anticipated due to both project development work and construction operations on Highway 101 projects, Local Streets Projects, and Bicycle and Pedestrian projects.

The Measure M Cash Flow Model incorporates all the planned expenditures, anticipated revenues and reserve funds for Hwy 101 projects, a positive balance for the LSP program, and positive balance (including the FY18/19 loan from the LSP program) for the Bike/Pedestrian program. The Local Streets Rehabilitation (LSR), Local Bus Transit (LBT), and Administration programs will continue to receive allotted payments based on actual sales tax revenues.

Staff Recommendation:

The SCTA must adopt a Measure M Final Budget for FY17/18 by October 31, 2017. The SCTA should consider the proposed Measure M Final Budgets and summary and, if they meet with the Board’s approval, adopt the Final Budget. Adoption of Resolution No. 2017-026 adopting the FY17/18 Measure M Final Budget requires a 2/3-majority vote. Therefore, the budget MUST receive eight (8) affirmative votes to pass.

Staff Report To: SCTA Directors

From: Suzanne Smith, Executive Director

Item: 4.6.2 – FY17/18 Transportation Fund for Clean Air Final Budget

Date: October 9, 2017

Issue:

Shall the SCTA adopt a final budget for the Transportation Fund for Clean Air program for FY17/18?

Background:

By October of each year, the SCTA must adopt three final budgets in order for operations to continue. The three budgets cover the SCTA operations, Measure M and the Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA).

This staff report covers the FY17/18 TFCA Final Budget. As is customary, the budget includes revenue from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the programmed funds available to each jurisdiction. The projects included in the FY17/18 budget are the same projects approved by the SCTA in May 2017. The funds allocated for each project are then assigned to each jurisdiction in which the project is proposed.

Policy Impacts:

None

Fiscal Impacts:

If a final budget is not adopted funds cannot be reimbursed to jurisdictions that expended money on projects and that could result in project delays, cash flow problems or related issues.

Staff Recommendation:

The SCTA must adopt the FY17/18 TFCA Final Budget by October 31, 2017. The SCTA should consider the proposed TFCA Final Budget and if it meets with the Board’s approval, adopt the FY17/18 TFCA Final Budget.

Adoption of Resolution No. 2017-027 adopting the FY17/18 TFCA Final Budget requires a 2/3-majority vote. Therefore, the budget MUST receive eight (8) affirmative votes to pass.

Staff Report To: Regional Climate Protection Authority

From: Lauren Casey, Director of Climate Programs

Item: 4.6.3 – FY17/18 Final Budget for RCPA

Date: October 9, 2017

Issue:

Shall the Board adopt a final budget for RCPA for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2017?

Background:

By October of each year, the RCPA must approve a Final Budget in order for operations to continue.

This staff report describes the FY17/18 RCPA Final Budget (Exhibit A). As is customary, the budget includes all revenues from local, regional, state, and federal sources, as well as all anticipated expenditures. Prior year information is included in the form of actual revenues and expenditures from FY16/17.

REVENUE AND REIMBURSEMENTS IN THE RCPA FY16/17 FINAL BUDGET INCLUDE:

• Interest on Pooled Cash / Interest Charges

Interest budgeted in FY17/18 is $1,800.

• Federal Contributions

No federal contributions are expected in FY17/18.

• City and County Contributions: RCPA Members

RCPA members contribute funding to support the non-grant funded activities which relate to agency operations, member coordination, on-call assistance to Directors and jurisdictional staff, new program development and grant applications, data collection and reporting, and legislative advocacy.

The Final Budget reflects no change to local member contributions from those approved in May, which were held flat at the same level as FY16/17 contributions. The 2017 contribution from RCPA Members is $222,534 (Exhibit B), with each contributing a minimum of $5,000 and the remainder based on population. All local contributions for FY17/18 have been received.

• Other Government Contributions: Bay Area Regional Energy Network and Regional Partnerships

The RCPA participates in a regional energy efficiency program implementation effort, administered by the Association of Bay Area Governments as the Bay Area Regional Energy Network, or BayREN. The RCPA was granted $408,700 for calendar year 2017 for the administration of the BayREN Water Bill Savings Program based on the local Pay As You Save (PAYS) program in Windsor (including technical consultants), coordination with BayREN members, and the local implementation of regional programs including Energy Upgrade California, Bay Area Multifamily Buildings Enhancement program, building codes and standards work, and

143

Page 144: SCTA-RCPA Agenda Packet€¦ · 9/10/2017  · County Regional Climate Protection Authority (RCPA) 2. Public comment on items not on the regular agenda 3. Consent Calendar A. SCTA/RCPA

commercial PACE marketing. Slightly more than half of this budget remained for work in the first two quarters of FY17/18, and ABAG expects that counties are funded at a similar level in 2018. The total forecast revenue from BayREN in FY17/18 for reimbursable efforts is expected to be $410,000.

In addition to contributions from member jurisdictions, the RCPA receives support from local partner agencies who share overlapping missions and collaborate with the RCPA on project delivery, including the Sonoma County Water Agency, the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District, and Sonoma Clean Power. Since the Preliminary budget was adopted, both of the regional air districts that serve Sonoma County have offered funding to establish formal partnerships and increase coordination on the implementation of clean air programs. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the Northern Sonoma County Air Pollution Control District have become funding partners to the RCPA.

Final partner contributions from these regional agencies are also outlined in Exhibit B, and the Final Budget includes additional revenue of $50,000 from local partners for services provided by the RCPA related to electric vehicle planning.

• State Grants

The RCPA and SCTA secured funding through a Zero-Emission Vehicle Regional Readiness and Planning solicitation from the California Energy Commission (CEC) to fund projects that support new and existing planning efforts for zero-emission vehicles including electric vehicles. The RCPA was awarded $300,000 to be spent over two years for the implementation of local readiness strategies including the creation of an EV ombudsman, populating a local DriveEV.org web resource, supporting jurisdictions in implementing streamlined permitting requirements, developing a candidate charging stations site database, and conducting employer outreach. Total revenue projected from the in FY17/18 is $135,000.

EXPENDITURES IN THE RCPA FY 16/17 FINAL BUDGET INCLUDE:

• Staff Salaries and Benefits

RCPA staff includes a full time Director of Climate Programs, a full time Climate Action Coordinator, and part of the Executive Director, Community Affairs Specialist, and several administrative positions. These employees manage programs, coordinate with partners (staff and directors), write grants, administer contracts, and engage with members of the community on climate action programs and issues.

The increase in staff costs from the FY16/17 budget is due primarily to the addition of a new administrative position midway through 2016, increases in staff salary and benefit costs, and to the winding down of an SCTA project on which RCPA staff were working (the Shift Sonoma County project was a joint project of the SCTA/RCPA, but the SCTA was the grant recipient and none of the labor costs appear in the RCPA budget). Health and retirement benefits are provided through the County of Sonoma and paid for by the RCPA.

The amount reflected in the budget, $460,000, is the cost of staffing exclusive of the remaining Shift grant efforts on which RCPA staff also work.

• Outside Contracts/Services

Items considered outside contracts or services include staff time as explained above, as well as: the annual audit services; county services such as financial management, claims processing, budget preparation and general accounting; consultant contracts for support on the delivery of Bay Area Regional Energy Network (BayREN) energy efficiency programs; and legal counsel. The addition of a CivicSpark Fellow to RCPA staff in FY17/18 is provided for by a contract with the Local Government Commission. The increase in legal costs from FY16/17 is due primarily to an agreement reached with California River Watch to not appeal and adverse trial

144

Page 145: SCTA-RCPA Agenda Packet€¦ · 9/10/2017  · County Regional Climate Protection Authority (RCPA) 2. Public comment on items not on the regular agenda 3. Consent Calendar A. SCTA/RCPA

court ruling regarding RCPA certification of the Climate Action 2020 and Beyond EIR, and to additional support requested from county counsel in negotiating the agreement.

The total budget for FY17/18 for outside contracts/services, excluding staff, is $490,135.

• Operational Expenses

Items considered operational expenses include office supplies, office lease, printing, postage, insurance, travel, staff development, event registrations, organizational memberships, and other related categories. The total amount requested for these items in the FY17/18 budget is $79,950.

Policy Impacts:

Adoption of the RCPA budget for FY17/18 will establish program activity levels and the ability to deliver on the RCPA’s Mission, Goals, and Objectives.

Fiscal Impacts:

RCPA members are being asked to continue their support of RCPA at $222,534. Also, revenue is forecast to exceed expenses by $9,239 resulting in a slight increase in ending fund balance, forecast to be $247,248 by the end of FY17/18.

Staff Recommendation:

In order to continue operation, the RCPA must adopt a Final Budget for FY17/18 by October 31, 2017. The RCPA should consider the proposed RCPA Final Budget and if it meets with the Board’s approval, adopt the FY17/18 RCPA Final Budget.

Adoption of Resolution No. 2017-004 adopting the FY17/18 RCPA Final Budget requires a 2/3-majority vote. Therefore, the budget MUST receive eight (8) affirmative votes to pass.

Staff Report To: SCTA/RCPA Board of Directors

From: Suzanne Smith, Executive Director

Item: 4.6.4 – FY17/18 Final Budget – SCTA Operations

Date: October 9, 2017

Issue:

What is the proposed Final Budget for the SCTA operations for FY17/18?

Background:

By October of each year, the SCTA must adopt three Final Budgets in order for operations to continue. The three budgets cover the SCTA general operations, Measure M and the Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) program.

This staff report covers the FY17/18 SCTA Final Budget. The budget includes all revenues derived from local, regional, state and federal sources. In addition to revenues, all anticipated expenditures are listed in the final budget. Prior year information is included with FY16/17 actual expenditures.

REVENUE IN THE SCTA FY17/18 FINAL BUDGET INCLUDES:

Federal Funding

• Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds from MTC planning contract

The SCTA is eligible to receive federal STP funds through MTC based on a contractual arrangement that includes a specific scope of work related to regional activities plus an additional scope of work with tasks related to transportation and land use planning including the maintenance of the travel demand model and Sustainable Communities Strategy work. For FY17/18, the budget anticipates $950,000. The SCTA remains eligible for the funds as long as it maintains a planning and programming function. This source is critical to fund staff and agency operations and is part of the funding in the One Bay Area Grant cycle two process.

• Carshare and Carpool Programs

The SCTA has received federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funding totaling $143,000 this FY for two programs related to developing a Carshare program in Santa Rosa and supporting carpooling throughout Sonoma County. The funds come from MTC’s Climate Initiatives Program and Regional Carpool Program. The Carshare program funds will be used to subsidize implementation, operations and marketing of a pilot car share program in Santa Rosa. The carpool support program funds will be used to develop a countywide guaranteed ride home program and promote other new and ongoing transportation demand management programs in Sonoma County.

State Funding

• State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) – Planning, Programming & Monitoring (PPM)

Page 150: SCTA-RCPA Agenda Packet€¦ · 9/10/2017  · County Regional Climate Protection Authority (RCPA) 2. Public comment on items not on the regular agenda 3. Consent Calendar A. SCTA/RCPA

These funds pay for staffing, office space/supplies, and consultant costs associated with the planning and project management related to the State Highway System and other eligible STIP projects. For FY17/18 SCTA anticipates using $343,000 in PPM funds. This revenue comes to the SCTA on a reimbursement basis from Caltrans.

• Strategic Growth Council (SGC) Grant for Shift Sonoma County

The SCTA received a planning grant from the SGC to address mode shift and fuel shift to reduce GHG emissions from the transportation sector. The final $85,000 available will be spent this fiscal year on staff time, consultant services, legal services and meeting related costs.

• HOV Lane Violation Fines

SCTA began receiving a percentage of the fines collected from HOV lane violations in FY14/15. This relatively new source of revenue is challenging to estimate. So far annual revenue has ranged from $34,000 to $67,000; for FY17/18 the anticipated amount proposed for the budget is $40,000.

• Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) Funds

The SCTA is eligible to receive 6.25% of the TFCA funds to serve as the Program Manager for the TFCA program of projects based on the hours spent managing the program. The SCTA anticipates receiving $40,000 to administer the program for FY17/18. The SCTA will also be using $70,000 in TFCA funds for work on a guaranteed ride home program. This item shows up under Reimbursements and is reflected as a negative expenditure due to the budgeting systems’ handling of payment transfers within an agency.

Local Funding

• The City and County partner contributions

Local jurisdictions contribute to the SCTA based on a population and centerline road mile formula. Population numbers were updated based on Department of Finance figures for 2016 and revised road mile numbers derived from jurisdictions’ Pavement Management System. The total contribution from local jurisdictions as shown in the Preliminary Budget is $372,893

The proposed local contribution from the cities and county reflects a 3% increase over last year. Staff is proposing the increase for FY17/18 to assist in critical SCTA operations that cannot be funded with grant or Measure M funds – including matching State and federal funding. A breakdown of the proposed costs to each jurisdiction is provided.

• Measure M

The SCTA bills directly to projects for SCTA staff time and materials used specifically on Highway 101 projects. The FY17/18 budget reflects $265,000 for staff and materials. This item shows up under Reimbursements and is reflected as a negative expenditure due to the budgeting systems’ handling of payment transfers within an agency.

• RCPA

The RCPA staff is paid for through the SCTA’s budget system and then staff time is reimbursed to SCTA from RCPA. The SCTA budget includes $460,000 in funds from the RCPA to cover staff costs, including a portion of the Executive Director and support staff time. This item shows up under Reimbursements and is reflected as a negative expenditure due to the budgeting systems’ handling of payment transfers within an agency.

Revenue Summary: Overall revenue is down slightly for FY17/18 primarily due to the wrap up of the Shift grant, however the new contract with MTC has increased our level of support for regional activities while the amount anticipated from Caltrans has remained flat. Local contributions are up 3% though the budget shows a slight decrease due to an additional $25,000 contribution from the County related to State Route 37.

EXPENDITURES IN THE SCTA FY17/18 FINAL BUDGET INCLUDE:

• Staff Salaries/Benefits

The FY17/18 budget reflects the salaries and benefits for twelve full time positions. The salary and benefit budget totals $2,098,500, up 4% from FY16/17 due to anticipated merit increases and increases in the cost of benefits. Health and retirement benefits are provided through the County of Sonoma and paid for by the SCTA.

• Outside Contracts/Services

This category totals $401,603 and includes annual audit services; financial management, claims processing, payroll, budget preparation and general accounting; contracts for consultant services (transportation model calibration, Carshare, carpool support and related activities); and legal counsel for contract reviews and procedural/operational questions including work on State Route 37.

• Operational Expenses

Items considered operational expenses include computer hardware and software, office supplies, office lease, printing, travel, professional development and other relates categories. The total amount requested for these items is $346,646 and includes funding for an office relocation.

Expenditure Summary: Overall expenditures increase slightly due to salaries/benefits for 12 full time positions and one-time relocation costs.

Policy Impacts:

No new policy issues are proposed in the FY17/18 SCTA Final Budget.

Fiscal Impacts:

The FY17/18 SCTA Final Budget proposes a 3% increase in local contributions that was approved as part of the preliminary budget (an increase of $10,000).

Revenues for the FY17/18 SCTA Final Budget are down due the near completion of the Shift grant. Expenditures are down slightly but include costs related to a possible office relocation, merit increases for employees and consultant services.

Staff Recommendation:

In order to continue operation, the SCTA must adopt a Final Budget for FY17/18 by October 31, 2017. The SCTA should consider the proposed Final SCTA Budget and, if it meets with the Board’s approval, adopt the FY17/18 SCTA Final Budget.

Adoption of Resolution No. 2017-028 adopting the FY17/18 Preliminary Budget requires a 2/3-majority vote. Therefore, the budget MUST receive eight (8) affirmative votes to pass.

Planning Advisory Committee September Updates No Meeting in September – Next meeting 10/19/17

I. CLIMATE ACTION 2020 - RESOLUTION OF LITIGATION

The RCPA developed the Climate Action 2020 and Beyond plan last year to comply with state legislation to try to reduce greenhouse gases to 1990 levels by the year 2020. All nine Sonoma County cities and the county worked to develop the plan’s goals. Implementation was put on hold while a lawsuit against the adequacy of the EIR was supported in court. The trial court issued an adverse ruling, which would require the RCPA to appeal or rescind certification of the EIR. The SCTA/RCPA authorized counsel and the Executive Director to enter into an agreement with California River Watch that will conclude the legal action in which RCPA pays $226,912, comprised of $225,000 in attorney fees and $1,912 in costs, in two installment payments over two years. As further requirements of the settlement, RCPA would agree to not appeal, and California River Watch would reaffirm in signed correspondence on letterhead its commitment not to challenge the measures in the plan. The CAP will remain an advisory document, and RCPA’s member agencies can continue to implement the measures in the plan if they either conduct CEQA review or find that the measures are exempt. The plan will not be able to be used for making significance determinations for CEQA analysis of other projects.

II. SONOMA COUNTY TRAVEL MODEL – UPDATE TO ADMINISTRATIVE AND OPERATIONAL TRAVEL DEMAND MODELING GUIDELINES – FINAL REVISION

SCTA operates and maintains the Sonoma County Travel Model (SCTM) which is used to support SCTA’s transportation planning activities and to provide analytic and modeling support to the Authority’s member organizations. SCTA’s Administrative and Operational Travel Demand Modeling Guidelines are used by staff to guide the operation, maintenance, improvement, and administration of the SCTM. This document outlines the goals and objectives, priorities, scope, products and services, maintenance, improvement, validation, and program evaluation strategies of the SCTA modeling program. A draft update to these guidelines was provided to the PAC, TAC, and CAC for discussion and review in August of 2017. The final document has been revised based on feedback from these committees and staff level review.
